My overseas Indian husband took my child to a foreign country without my permission. I live in India and want to reunite with my child. What should I do?

 Register a Case on the MADAD Portal

The MADAD Portal is run by the Ministry of External Affairs. You can file a complaint here to seek help in international child custody matters.

Contact NCPCR (Mediation Cell)

Reach out to the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) under the Ministry of Women and Child Development. Their Child Welfare Division helps in cases involving children taken abroad.

File a Case for Child Custody in India

You can go to an Indian family court and file a case for child custody. The court may issue orders to help bring your child back or allow communication.

Make a Complaint to the Foreign Embassy

Send a formal complaint to the Embassy of the country where your child has been taken. They may assist in locating your child or guiding you on legal steps.

File a Case in the Foreign Country

You may also need to file a legal case against your husband in the country where he currently lives. This can help enforce custody or visitation rights.

How Can I Talk to My Children Who Are Abroad?
